Dr Mark Addis, a Reader in Philosophy and Cultural Theory at the University of Central England in Birmingham, has been invited to join the Arts and Humanities Research Council Peer Review College.

The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) is responsible for funding research and postgraduate study, in the UK, in a wide range of subjects. These range from traditional humanities subjects such as history, modern languages, philosophy and English literature, to creative and performing arts.

Dr Addis will join the AHRC Peer Review College which is composed of distinguished researchers who assess, comment and decide on applications for funding. As a member, Dr Addis will be required to review several funding applications each year and contribute to the development of arts and humanities research across the UK.

Dr Addis, of UCE Birmingham’s Faculty of Law, Humanities, Development and Society, is an authority on the work of Wittgenstein and recently published a book for Continuum on the subject titled Wittgenstein: a Guide for the Perplexed. His edited collection for Routledge, 'Wittgenstein and the Philosophy of Religion' is widely recommended on reading lists. He has also been honoured recently with the award of a Visiting Professorship in Philosophy at Aarhus University, Denmark. Mark is committed to the cause of teaching philosophy both in schools and universities.

He was also recently made the first person ever elected to the Executive Committee of the British Philosophical Association from a non-philosophy department. The British Philosophical Association is the foremost organisation for professional philosophers in the UK and Dr Addis will serve on their Executive Committee until 2010.
